Gravitas

$12.00

Frank, conversational, and darkly funny, Gravitas examines the tendency of MFA programs to teach women that their lives aren’t worth writing about. These poems bear witness not only to alienation but also to the bittersweet joy of being forced to invent alternative ways of living and writing.

Total Joy, 2023

"GRAVITAS is elegant, spare, and true. Berkowitz writes beautifully heart-breaking poetry." —Myriam Gurba

The Total Joy edition includes several poems from The Feeling Is Mutual, the out-of-print 2009 anthology of collectively written poems by the Washtenaw County Women’s Poetry Collective & Casserole Society.
